DAL/WASH trade talks heating up (nothing imminent)

[ClippersDynasty]

this..Mavs are getting Haywood?..ugh..

This is fan ing tastic.

[j.dizzle]

Typical, off the cuff, message board statement. Look at how much the Spurs and Magic have suffered by adding new pieces. Simply adding more talent does not equate success. The early 2000's Jail Blazers are a good example of this.

Son, Dallas wasnt gonna win anything with their current roster..They need a shakeup & see what happens. Its a risk worth taking

[monosylab1k]

There might be more

We believe Dallas will also be giving a Trade Exception to Washington and taking back a player like reserve center Fabricio Oberto. In fact, we will suggest that who to take with the TE -- the candidates are those with salaries between $1.4 mil and $3 mil, Blatche, Oberto, Young and McGee -- is as much part of the debate/delay as the Ross/Thomas/Singleton question.

I don't mind getting Oberto as a backup center. We'd all want Blatche but no way Washington lets him go too.

[monosylab1k]

If the Mavs could weasel Nick Young out of it then that would be massive. Probably just gonna have to take Oberto tho.

When you can get rid of team cancer like JHo, it's a good thing.

They're trading in a team problem for an upstanding citizen in Caron who can actually ball. Dirk, Kidd and now Caron make the Mavs a "professional" team.

This one's a no brainer.

Then they turn in a soft tweener player in Gooden for a real center like Haywood that has the size for the bigger teams in the West. Usually, when Dampier gets in foul trouble against bigger teams, the Mavs are done for the night.

Butler and Haywood are consistently good. JHo and Gooden are inconsistently good and bad.

Spur fan is in panic mode.

Brah, we have been in panic mode and it has nothing to do with the Mavs. This is just a kick to the junk.

at Donnie making deals with Cuban is at the celebrity game. Mark cant reject offers while he is playing. Donnie is being sneeky

+1 Nick Young would be a steal

Actually I have nothing to do with this trade. I generally shy away from doing things like adding talent to the roster because I'd rather hold onto players that are seasoned vets and know the "Maverick way".

I'm wary of Caron Butler and Brendan Haywood because they might do crazy things like slash to the basket, dunk the ball, play aggressively, and make their layups. That's not Maverick basketball.

Cuban, Carlisle and I had no knowledge of a trade being made until a few minutes ago. All I can say is that Popeye Jones is a sneaky bas .

well Popeye does have D.C. connections since he did play there for a few years...props to Popeye

[EricB]

The Mavs traded away a classic Spurs killer.

Dunno how Spur fan should be gripping with this trade..

[sribb43]

I just remembered the Butler is another very injury prone player

You get "injured" alot when you're a star on a ty team.

[baseline bum]

Wow... great trade for Dallas, especially without losing Beaubois. You'd think Washington could get a pick or something out of the deal though since Ross has a player option.

[slick'81]

wow good trade for dallas haywood and butler for j-ho and trash nice

[baseline bum]

Butler and Stephenson only have one more year left on their deals after this season too. There's just no risk for Dallas on this deal; Howard is beyond worthless this season.

thats one of the reasons why i prefered this deal than acquiring iggy and brand/dalembert of KMart

Wow the Mavs will be a serious contender if this deal goes through... very good deal for them.

Lakers aren't invincible.

[monosylab1k]

Lakers aren't invincible.

True, but I don't know if this trade is enough to put them on the same level as the Lakers.

But this, on top of hopefully getting another big deal out of Dampier in the offseason, should mean Dallas is a real threat to win a le next season.

[mavsfan1000]

Lakers aren't invincible.

Yeah they are. I actually think they could win it without Kobe. Sick team that is stacked.
